Days before Christmas we were given the Sunday Sun Pub of the Year award by Eddy Eats.
The newspaper team came and presented us with the award and we are very pleased to have been chosen.

They wrote "MRS E and I have famously high standards. We don’t expect posh, overpriced fancy food whenever we go in search of scran.
Instead, what we hope to give you each week is a selection of the best eateries in the North where you can get good quality produce, prepared and cooked with care, accompanied by a tasty drop of booze.
And, of course, staff who provide service that makes you feel the centre of attention . . . all in surroundings that are relaxing and inviting.

Helen said: “We are delighted to have won the award. Being named the Sunday Sun pub of the year means a lot as it comes from a regional paper our customers are familiar with. We have had a good year winning awards but we never expected any of them.

“We have a very good team here and it is almost as if we are one small family.

She Who Must be Fed and I visited the pub in July when we experienced a top quality meal. We were impressed by the fact that all the produce, from the potatoes to the beef and pork and the vegetables, were locally sourced.
The food had obviously been cooked with care and there was a good selection of desserts, a fabulous choice of real ales and around 50 wines.
